Diagrams for 7 and 8 string guitars

[tatto]

It would be exceptional to use this software even for extended range guitar players, so useful

Hi tatto,

7 and 8 string guitars are already there! Standard tunings are available out of the box (B1 to E4 and F#1 to E4).

You can of course also define your own custom tunings if you like - this tutorial video covers how to do that, plus how to change the tuning for a fretboard diagram, and how to change the default tuning used (e.g. you're playing Drop A and want all new fretboards to have this tuning).

it's an older video showing an older version of Neck Diagrams, but the principles remain the same!

Just found a thread that covers this topic too:


[Forum] How to create fretboards using a different tuning or instrument (https://www.neckdiagrams.com/forums/showthread.php/466-How-to-create-fretboards-using-a-different-tuning-or-instrument)


I'll see about updating that thread with screenshots from the current version!

BTW, I'll be working on a series of new, short & focused tutorial videos over the coming months too :)

Thanks a lot for the help
